Arable crop disease control, climate change and food security
Fitt, Bruce D.L.; Evans, Neal; Gladders, P.; Hughes, David; Jeger, M.J.; Turner, J.A.; West, Jon S. (Association of Applied Biologists, 2011)Global food security is threatened by crop diseases that account for average yield losses of 16%. Climate change is exacerbating threats to food security in much of the world, emphasising the need to increase food production ... -
Arable crop disease control, climate change and food security
Fitt, Bruce D.L.; Evans, Neal; Gladders, Peter; Hughes, David; West, Jon S. (2013-08)Global food security is threatened by crop diseases that account for average yield losses of 16%. Climate change is exacerbating threats to food security in much of the world, emphasising the need to increase food production ... -
Climate change increases risk of fusarium ear blight on wheat in central China
Zhang, Xu; Halder, Julia; White, Rodger P.; Hughes, David; Ye, Z.; Wang, Changgui; Xu, R.; Gan, B.; Fitt, Bruce D.L. (2014-04-11)To estimate potential impact of climate change on wheat fusarium ear blight, simulated weather for the A1B climate change scenario was imported into a model for estimating fusarium ear blight in central China. In this work, ... -
Climate change increases risk of fusarium ear blight on wheat in central China
Zhang, Xu; Halder, Julia; White, R.P.; Hughes, David; Ye, Zhen; Wang, C.; Xu, R.; Gan, B.; Fitt, Bruce D.L. (2013-08)In this work, a logistic weather-based regression model for estimating incidence of wheat fusarium ear blight in central China was developed, using up to 10 years of disease, anthesis date and weather data available for ... -
Control of arable crop pathogens; climate change mitigation, impacts and adaptation
Fitt, Bruce; Stotz, Henrik; Hughes, David (Springer Nature Link, 2016-03-29)In the context of threats to global food security from impacts of damaging crop diseases and of climate change, this chapter describes three aspects of the interactions between climate change and diseases that reduce arable ... -
Epidemiology and spread of Leptosphaeria species (phoma stem canker) on brassicas
Fitt, Bruce D.L.; Hughes, David; Stotz, Henrik; McDonald, B. A.; Rouxel, Thierry (2013-08)Leptosphaeria maculans and L. biglobosa, cause of phoma stem canker disease of brassicas, are related pathogens of brassicas that were originally considered as one species but occupy slightly different ecological niches ... -
Invasion by Leptosphaeria maculans (phoma stem canker on brassicas) : from genome to worldwide crop
Fitt, Bruce D.L.; Hu, B; Li, Zi-Qin; Liu, ShengYi; Lange, R. M.; Hughes, David; Rouxel, Thierry (2011)Leptosphaeria maculans and L. biglobosa, which cause phoma stem canker disease, are related pathogens of brassicas that were originally considered as one species but occupy slightly different ecological niches and are now ... -
Large-scale analysis of influenza A virus nucleoprotein sequence conservation reveals potential drug-target sites
Kukol, A.; Hughes, David (2014-04-30)The nucleoprotein (NP) of the influenza A virus encapsidates the viral RNA and participates in the infectious life cycle of the virus. The aims of this study were to find the degree of conservation of NP among all virus ... -
Resistance to Pyrenopeziza brassicae (light leaf spot) in Brassica napus
Boys, Emily F.; Roques, Susan; West, Jon S.; Werner, C. Peter; King, Graham J.; Dyer, Paul S.; Hughes, David; Fitt, Bruce D.L. (2011)Light leaf spot (caused by the hemibiotrophic Pyrenopeziza brassicae) is one of the most important diseases of winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus) in northern Europe, including the UK. In controlled environment and field ... -
Resistance to Pyrenopeziza brassicae (light leaf spot) in Brassica napus, in International Consultative Research Group on Rapeseed
Boys, Emily F.; Roques, Susan; West, Jon S.; Werner, C. Peter; King, G. J.; Dyer, Paul S.; Hughes, David; Fitt, Bruce D.L. (2011) -
Transcriptomics of temperature-sensitive R gene-mediated resistance identifies a WAKL10 protein interaction network
Noel, Katherine; Wolf, Ivan; Hughes, David; Valente, Guilherme; Qi, Aiming; Huang, Yongju; Fitt, Bruce; Stotz, Henrik (2024-02-29)Understanding temperature-sensitivity of R gene-mediated resistance against apoplastic pathogens is important for sustainable food production in the face of global warming. Here, we show that resistance of Brassica napus ...
